Grandmother's Death from Alzheimer's Pushed Edina CEO to Online Innovation

On Sunday, Terry Bradshaw featured Edina's own HealthCare Interactive on his show, "Today In America."

The former quarterback and current sports analyst interviewed HealthCare Interactive CEO and Founder John V. Hobday on the FOX Business Network show.

Hobday left his job as a middle school teacher in 1994, eventually founding HealthCare Interactive, a dementia care training program that has partnered with the Alzheimer’s Association.

"When my grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, my family knew nothing," Hobday says in the video. "What we really needed was an understanding of the basics of dementia an explanation of the behavior that was occurring and strategies we could use with her."

Now Hobday is working on online software that helps families learn to care for Alzheimer's patients.
